First-Principles Study of the Structural Stability and Electronic and Elastic Properties of Helium in α-Zirconium

Figure 1

Five crystallographically unique interstitial sites in α-zirconium (hcp structure), where the pink spheres are the hcp lattice sites and the red ones are labeled as octahedral (O), basal octahedral (BO), tetrahedral (T), basal tetrahedral (BT), and substitutional (S) sites, respectively.
